Why ME?

Do you know what I find interesting?  The fact that many of us have no idea who we are, or where we are going.  Remember the theme song from the 1977 movie, "MAHOGANY?"  The lyrics quote:

Do you know where you're going to, 

Do you know like the things that life is showing you,

Where are you going to, do you know;

Do you get what you're hoping for, 

When you look behind you there's no open door,

What are you hoping for, DO YOU KNOW?

 

Having a stern foundation, and knowing our purpose, is imperative to the very fiber of our being.  I've heard the old saying, that if "you don't know where you've been, you'll never know where you're going."  What an in-depth statement!

Last week, I was in the mood to watch the bio-movie, "ROOTS: THE NEXT GENERATIONS," sequel to the original story, written by the late, famous author Alex Haley,  Even though I've viewed it many times, since its 1979 televised conception, I learn something new each time.  An individual commented on why, after born, the babies would be lifted to the moon.

 

I myself have always believed that Alex Haley learned that from the first of his family's generations, that it wasn't so much abut showing them the huge brightness in space, as it was the God who created all of it!  "Behold, the ONLY thing GREATER than yourself" is Almighty, All-knowing, All-seeing, All-hearing, the Creator of ALL things, is our Heavenly Father GOD!  HE is the Great I AM, who is the only One who is able to do all things, but fail!  The One who is gracious, merciful, loves us all as His very own, and just wants us to live in Him, in every area of our lives.

We must realize that everything we've experienced has been arranged to further make us become that "vessel unto honor, and meat for the Master's use."  I the book of Jeremiah, it tells us, from the 3rd chapter:

"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born I SET YOU APART; I APPOINTED YOU...!"

God knows why we were created, He has always known the plans HE has had, and continues to have for us.  Filling us with everything He has, whether love, power, sound mind, or His Spiritual fruit and wisdom, so we can be epistles of His Glory, everywhere we go!  Amen?  Peace and blessings to you! :)
